Chase away the chill with hearty soup Cold weather is just around the corner. One of the fastest ways to warm up when chilly temperatures set in is by enjoying hearty, hot soups at mealtime. People may have their preferred go-to soups to warm up. Split Pea Soup can be included in anyone’s recipe collection. Soup lovers who want to do just that can try this recipe for “Puree of Split Pea Soup” courtesy of “The Culinary Institute of America Book of Soups” (Lebhar-Friedman Books) by The Culinary Institute of America.

Puree of Split Pea Soup Makes 8 servings 4 1

strips bacon, minced medium onion, diced (about 11⁄4 cups) 1 carrot, diced (about 1⁄3 cup) 1 celery stalk, diced (about 1⁄2 cup) 1 leek, white and light green part, diced (about 11⁄4 cups) 6 cups chicken broth 2 yellow or white potatoes, peeled and diced (about 2 cups) 1⁄2 pound split green or yellow peas, or lentils 1 smoked ham hock Sachet: 1 bay leaf, 1 whole clove, 1 garlic clove, and 4 to 5 peppercorns, enclosed in a large teaball or tied in a cheesecloth pouch Salt, to taste Freshly ground pepper, to taste 1 cup croutons Cook the bacon in a soup pot over medium-high heat until crisp and brown. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels and set aside. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and leek; stir to evenly coat with fat. Cover the pot and cook the vegetables over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes.

Add the broth, potatoes, peas, and ham hock. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium heat, 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sachet and simmer until the split peas are soft, about 30 minutes.

Skim away any scum during simmering.

Remove the sachet and discard. Remove the ham hock and set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, cut the ham off the bone, dice, and set aside.

Strain the soup through a sieve, reserving the liquid. Puree the solids and return them to the pot. Add enough of the reserved liquid to achieve a thick consistency. Blend well. Stir in the ham and bacon.

Season with salt and pepper. Serve in heated bowls, garnished with croutons.

SUDOKU HERE’S HOW IT WORKS Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ANSWERS

12 • THE GUNNISON COUNTRY SHOPPER

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18TH, 2023

Weekly Horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, this week you may invite a friend over who shares all of his or her good energy with you. It’s just the boost you need right now to have a positive few days.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You may have an urgent need to get physically active, Taurus.

That can propel you to get a gym membership or to organize a walking club with some local friends.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You are brimming with energy right now, Gemini. It’s only a matter of figuring out what to do with it. A painting or other home renovation project could be the perfect fit.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You are in the process of widening your field of opportunities, Cancer. This may translate into taking a trip overseas or even across the country for a little bit.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Take a few moments this week to go over spending, as you may determine that you have to reel in your budget a little more than you had expected, Libra.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week you could be inspired by someone who comes across as a natural leader. Learn from this individual about how you can become more assertive.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your help is urgently needed, so there is no time to waste. When the alarm clock goes off, it is time to spring into action each day.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, put all of your cards on the table this week, especially with those close to you. They deserve to see the bigger picture if they are involved with you.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Your typically amicable personality could be nowhere in sight this week, Leo. Perhaps you are feeling disrespected and bullied and want to advocate for yourself.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 The week ahead may be trying for you, Aquarius. You may have to prove yourself to loved ones by offering a speech or other actions. It could be emotionally draining.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 There are moments when everyone gets strong feelings of where they should be heading in life, Virgo. Sometime this week you could receive an epiphany moment.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you can look forward to your busy week ahead because the time is going to fly by. Do not schedule anything extra, as you will not be able to fit it in for the time being.

YES ON 2B equals healthy recreation facilities and quality streets

WHAT—

2B asks City of Gunnison voters to change Gunnison’s sale tax allocations.

2B reallocates 0.38% (or 38 cents on a $100 purchase) to parks and recreation to maintain recreation facilities, such as, the pool and ice rink, and 0.37% (or 37 cents on a $100 purchase) to maintaining and rehabilitating our existing streets and related infrastructure (including sidewalks and alleys).

2B DOES NOT increase the City of Gunnison’s sales and use tax rate.

WHY—

Ongoing costs to maintain recreation facilities and continue affordable fees is exceeding projections from 20 years ago.

Costs for asphalt, cement, building materials and equipment are growing 3 times faster than the city’s revenue. $1 spent now will cost $8 if our existing streets deteriorate.

RESULT—

Passing 2B ends uncertainty in funding Gunnison’s recreation facilities, such as, the pool and ice rink.

Allows for an asphalt overlay on North 12th to be included in the 2024 budget. With additional projects to follow.
